Hi all,
I have being struggling with keeping so called easy Tropica plants 53b & Amazon Swords.
Although neither plants seem to die but both all looking yellow/brown - i do get some new slow growth on the 53b but again eventually all turn the same colour
I am thinking it could be down to lighting as im only using the standard LED ligthing which came with my Tank (Fluval Vicenza 180).
Here is a list of
Tank- Fluval Vicenza 180 LED
Filter- Oase 600 Thermo
Substrate - Tropica Aqua Soil mixed in with Sand
Ferts - Dosing 2 x 10ml theaquascaper complete liquid plant food per day
Lighting - On for 8 hours per day Specs from Fluval: 14.5 watt, 1920 Lumens, 50 par at 12 inches deep
Co2 - 2-3 bubbles per seconds (comes on 1 hour befor lighting and goes off 1 hour before lights go out)
Water - Hard water area ,28.5 degrees (Discus Temps) - 50% water change once a week.
Any help where i might be going wrong would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ben
